Introduction:
An individual person or an organization, both of these entities have some basic responsibilities
towards society and other circumstances. For a business organization, there are a lot of
responsibilities of the managerial department towards society and its employees. .This is
nowadays a very crucial topic to discussed as I have found a lot of information, discussion, and
argument regarding this. Business or profitable business organizations have the responsibilities
of social corporate responsibilities, responsibilities towards the health, the safety of employees
along with confidentiality maintenances of personal data of their consumers. All of these
respective things are providing in the following part of the essay.
Body:
Responsibilities of the organization indicate the sustainable utilization of resources, strategic
positioning, stopping the exploitation-related activities. Mainly, all of these business
responsibilities are nothing but a business organization based model where all the responsible
organizations are owing to keep their commitment towards society through sustainable
development, sustainable utilization of worldly resources. In this aspect, corporate social
responsibility is a prudent thing. Most of the global organizations are found to be present very
much engaged with social corporate responsibilities (Frynas, and Yamahaki, 2019, p. 25). To
continue these responsibilities, organizations provide the fund for the children education, on the
other hand, these organizations are found to be present in the camping system of natural
calamities (Rai, T.S. and Diermeier, D., 2019, p. 153). I have seen many organizations who keep
some portions of their revenues in a regular nature for children and women welfare fund. On the
other hand, these organizations have the responsibilities towards the economic growth of the
society. Organizations are great sources of employment. As a result, huge numbers of people get
their employment in these organizations. Global organizations including Apple, Microsoft, and
others make their responsibilities towards their society through a thorough working schedule. On
the other hand, all of these organizations take an enormous risk along with simultaneous research
and development. Finally, they provide innovate enormous products with innovations and
developments in both of the time and cost-effective manner. It helps the society and the social
people to improvise the social life of the consumers. In this aspect, it is important to take social
corporate responsibilities. In this context, all of the business organizations have the

responsibilities towards the environment also. For this research, nowadays most of the
organizations are very much cautious about the environmental pollution level and carbon
footprint level. Now, most of the organizations are very much willing to make the sustainable
utilization of non-renewable energy sources to make this earth pollution free for the next
generations. To make this thing, all global organizations are nowadays emphasizing over the
utilization of renewable energy sources like wind power, solar power, and others. Organizations
have a great responsibility towards the health and safety measures of the employees. According
to the published report of the International Labour Organization, in recent time near about 60%
of employees have died due to the working environment, work-related stresses, and depression.
It is crucial for organizations to provide a balanced social life for the workers. Monitoring is
needed for better output of the employees but there is a great difference between monitoring and
spying. Providing proper rights to the employees as a human being is a great responsibility for
the organization. It is employees responsibility towards the organization to make the best
performances for the socio-economic growth and development of the organization. On the other
hand, it is also the responsibilities of the organization to make proper respect to their employees
and customers as both of these are the valuable treasure of all business organizations (Figueroa et
al., 2019, P. 452). To make a better continuity of this business rep=sponsibiilities, it is crucial to
make a tremendous advancement of technology along with social media-based platforms. In this
discussion, it is the main point that all business organizations have some basic responsibilities
where maintenances of these responsibilities also broaden aspect of the organization. It is
important to make communication with social media platforms. When all the customers will
come to know about the socially responsible activities of a particular organization, then they will
be attracted towards the ethical or corporate principles of the organization (Tran, 2019, p. 275).
So, not only these responsibilities are the sources of a lot of expenditure but making these
responsibilities organizations will be able to prove the degree of loyalty towards the society also.
Not only an organization is the profit-generating field but also as a social entity it has social
responsibilities. Implementation of these social responsibilities helps the organization to enhance
its human resources and popularity also (Abroms et al., 2019, p. 256).
From all of this discussion, it is clear that all the business organization have some responsibilities
towards the society, its employees, vendors, suppliers, consumers and the environment.
Maintenances of these responsibilities are very important for the social and economic grading in

the global market. As for stuff, a person has the duty to provide the best performance to the
organization; on the other hand, the organization also has the responsibility towards the
wellbeing of society and its employees.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded from the above discussion that, there are a huge spectrum of responsibilities
of profitable business organizations. In this aspect, the maintenance of these social
responsibilities will help the organization for its socio-economic growth and development
purpose. Some recommendations about the utilization of renewable energy sources are also
provided which provide a definite way for the organizations towards the sustainability of
resources, mainly the natural resources without interrupting nature. It will help society for a
better lifestyle along with healthy practices.
